Do you view a person saying “TDS” as an insult?

Question

msc545 · Accepted Answer

I do, given that there is no such thing. The person saying it generally knows that. This is just a way of deflecting reasonable criticism of Trump and reframing it as some sort of mental disorder, which it most certainly is not. I would argue that the most salient mental disorder in all of this is the person who denies Trump's bad and deranged behavior.

No it means they are retarded and can't say anything else

Not really. When someone says that, it's like they are alerting you that they are an idiot.
Think of like this... (Pardon me for paraphrasing your question...)

Q: Do you view a kindergartener calling you a "poopyhead" as insult?

A: Of course not! They're immature and ignorant kindergarteners.

Now replace "kindergarteners" in the answer with "MAGA cultists" and you have the answer to your original question.

Yes, and it should be. It’s fine to attack his policies, but the left attacked his 10 year old son.
When Trump‘s hand trembled a little while drinking a bottle of water, the Libs went into attack mode on that
When Trump had some bruising on his hand, the libs said he was dying of some strange disease.

Trump has taken the cognitive ability test four times and they say he’s got dementia. Biden was afraid to take the test once and they were silent.
When Antifa and BLM were destroying buildings, the left was silent. When Trump used private funds to make the big beautiful ballroom, the left lost their shit.

It’s an insult on the surface but right below that it’s exposing the person saying it as an ignorant sheep unwilling to engage in any form of meaningful conversation

It’s no different than the “F word” for the gay community.
A convenient way to dismiss their position as nothing more than a mental illness not worth considering
All too familiar…

Yes, "TDS" (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is generally viewed as a pejorative, partisan insult used to discredit critics of Donald Trump. It is intended to dismiss opposition as irrational, "deranged," or a psychological condition rather than a legitimate political argument.

Not particularly. For some people, it probably is. For others who have made hating Trump their reason for existence (Stephen Colbert, Mark Hamill, etc.) though? I'd say it's a simple statement of fact.

TDS isn't an insult, it's a dangerous propaganda tool. It's enabled Trumps inappropriate behaviour to escalate to dangerous levels.

Spencer10 · Answer

Not at all... its a cheap deflection from a person who has lost their objectivity... so who is really suffering from TDS?

Anonymous · Answer

No, it's a deflection. Trump worshipping cultmembers are the deranged ones acting like he is God.

RingOfFire · Answer

Of course! That's why I call TDS lunatics that name. It fits!

Anonymous · Answer

LOL The ONLY people who accuse others of having TDS are the Trump cult, who actually DO have it because they follow and believe Trump like a bunch of deranged morons.
